Dear Deborah, Dear Anelda,
I am very delighted to hear this initiative of sustaining data carpentry in Uganda. My apologies to pop in a bit late, I definitely support the idea and express my willingness to assist and make it happen. I am also introducing Mr. Faustin Gashakamba, a GIS/Remote Sensing Expert and Data Carpenter since 2015, working for the Rwanda Mining Board, He has been driving capacity building in biodiversity informatics.
